Class of 1997

Name: Jason Gay (Jason Focker) emailClass of: 1997Now living in: Tampa, FLDate: Aug. 7, 2012Comments: Good to read through and see some familiar names. Hope all is well, just wanted to let everyone know that yes, I am still alive. Life is good, still not married, living in a penthouse in Channelside. If you want to find me on Facebook my name is Jason Focker. Most people know me by that name in Tampa because I used to work on the MJ morning show and with 933flz and ran some clubs, so figured why not go with it. Would love to hear from some of you that I haven't seen in a long time. Are we doing a 15 year reunion or did I miss it. My grandfather died the same week as our 10 year so I missed it.

Name: Teresa (Reich) Ginther emailClass of: 1995Now living in: Eridu, FLDate: May 13, 2011Comments:If you were in NJROTC at Gulf High sometime during the 1990’s, we will be having a reunion NEXT year, Memorial Day weekend. That’s Saturday May 26, 2012. It will be at Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs, FL beginning at noon & lasting until the sun sets & the park closes. Bring your families too! We all plan to bring a dish for everyone so it’s affordable for all so I must have an RSVP list by May 1, 2012. If you are on Facebook, search Gulf High School NJROTC 1990’s Reunion; there is an event page set up. There is also a group to join on Facebook by the same name. Please send me your current names, addresses, phone numbers, year of graduation & if you are a veteran if you are interested in attending so I may mail you a paper invitation later in the year. There will also be a sign-up list for you to bring a food item to share with everyone. If you are in contact with anyone who also was in ROTC, please share this information with them. Help me track down fellow classmates to include everyone; send me their information so I can mail them invitations as well! Starting early so we have time to track people down & out-of-towners can make plans to attend too. Thanks so much for your help; hope to see you next year!!

Name: Joshua Lowe emailClass of: 1997Now living in: New Port RicheyDate: Aug. 13, 2009Comments: Well it has been a couple of years since I posted last. So I thought an update might be nice.

I moved back to NPR a few years back. I was married a few years back. I have a 8 year old step daughter, x2 – 5 year old twin girls, and lastly my son who will be a year old in a few months. I now work for a software company out in Tampa and despise the drive each day. I have been friends with Chris Cordes for as long as I can remember and will till the day I die. He is like another brother to me. I have randomly seen many of my fellow classmates out and about around town and it is always good to say hi to you guys. Sorry I did not make it out to the 10 year but things did not work out for me around then. I still see Gina Sessa and love her and her family like a part of my own. Having kids changes the world and I would not change it…no more for me I am done, 4 is enough. I just wanted to update my email address on here so if you want to click on my name and send me a message, I will respond as soon as I can. Talk to all of you later and it is good to see so many of you doing so well.

Name:Joe TempleClass of: 1997Now living in: Port Richey, FlDate: Nov 15, 2007Comments: Hello there class of ’97! Just wanted to say how much i miss high school! Real life can be pretty crappy. But hey, thats life right. I am a single father of 2 working fulltime at John Deere Landscapes in Port Richey. After work I pick up my 2 angels from school, ages 10 and 9, and do all the things that a parent has to. I actually married a girl from school, Crystal Kuster, but she split. I guess parenthood just wasn’t her thing. As hard as things are as a single parent, I would not trade my kids for anything in the world! Well, if anyone can even remember me, email me to chat, SEE YA!!!!

the pix from the reunion are great
I moved so with new work and school
i couldn’t make it…

Harmony, you did wonderfully

thanks for your effort

Name:Erin FackelmanClass of: 1997Now living in: Neverneverland, FLDate: Oct 30, 2007Comments: I would like to thank Harmony Mendoza and her family for putting together a wonderful evening for the class of 1997. It was really great to see everyone is doing so well. Everyone take care, hopefully we can do it again sometime.

Name:Harmony MendozaClass of: 1997Now living in: Columbus, GADate: Oct 22, 2007Comments: I am going to receive a registration list and photo name badges from Reunion Celebrations on Wednesday. I will be at the front of the banquet room checking people in and handing out photo name badges. They are your ticket. Those who have not pre-registered will not have a senior photo badge from Reunion Celebrations. I will bring blank name badges for those who pay at the door. If you have any more questions please let me know.

I really hope you all can make it! I know that things happen and unexpected financial problems come up but, we only have one High School 10 year reunion in our lifetime. I have put so much into this reunion to make it memorable, including engraved key chains and a special video presentation from our high school days.

If you have a specific problem and you want to go, let me know and I will work it out somehow…someway. If you cannot pay until the reunion night let me know by 10/22 because I will be giving the Ramada Inn a final head count for the food then.

I really hope you consider it. I hope to see you soon.

Harmony

Again…here is the information:

The Deadline for payments made by check is this Friday, 10/12/07. The deadline for the on-line or fax credit card payments is next Friday, 10/19/07. Here is the direct link to make payments for your reunion tickets. If you have any more questions let me know. Harmony Mendoza

If you are just now finding out about the reunion, please sign up immediately. The link is below, in the previous posts. There is also a link below to pay on-line. If you are just finding out about the reunion and you would like to go, I will make sure Reunion Celebrations does not charge you late fees. We need people to sign up as early as possible for the table set-up, amount of food we need and the number of memorabilia to order.

It looks like a good turn out but, we would love to see a few more familiar faces. See you soon and please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns.

Harmony Mendoza

Name:Harmony MendozaClass of: 1997Now living in: Columbus, GADate: Sep 24, 2007Comments: I would like to address a concern repeatedly brought up by a handful of people. It seems these few people are complaining about the venue for the reunion. First of all, an expensive venue inside a hotel means everything will be more expensive. Please realize that classmates from all income brackets make up our class and we want everyone to be able to come. I have secured a great deal from The Ramada Inn. Also, they are allowing us to decorate the room how we want.

I am very disappointed that some people say they are not coming because of the location. This hotel will serve our purpose very well: reuniting with friends from the past and reminiscing about the good old days.

I have been working on this reunion for more than 5 months from Georgia, with *very* limited help. I have done my best from this distance to make this a spectacular night. If you choose not to come because of the location, that’s your decision. Please do everyone a favor and keep your negativity to yourselves. And let others enjoy the night.

I am so excited for the reunion and I hope everyone else is as well. We will have a little “happy hour” at the beginning of the reunion, so try to make it on time so you do not miss out. Also, during dinner, with the help of some Gulf High faculty, there will be a class video on a projection screen. It will be similar to the one shown at graduation.

As we get closer to the reunion, I will post more information. Please feel free to contact me with question, comments or concerns.

Name:Harmony MendozaClass of: 1997Now living in: Columbus, GADate: Sep 6, 2007Comments: I hope everyone has received their invitations. Reunion celebrations have sent out another reminder about the reunion this week. Payment needs to be received no later than 30 day prior to the reunion to avoid extra fees.

I would also like to reinforce the costume party aspect. I will be dressed up, among others including: the band and possibly the wait staff. The entire room and entry way will also be spooky. It is going to be so much fun to see how creative everyone is now a days.

Please let me know if you have not received an invitation and I will get one sent to you immediately. I need to get a head count as soon as possible for the floor plan. There will be no seating chart; however I need your help with signing up early so I can plan for enough food, drinks, memorabilia, etcetera…

Name:Harmony MendozaClass of: 1997Now living in: Columbus, GADate: Jun 11, 2007Comments: Hello! I have a few updates about the reunion. Reunion Celebrations Inc is on board and they are in the process of contacting everyone. It would help them immensely if you logged onto their website and updated your contact information. Here is a link:

The date is set for October 27, 2007. The agreement with Reunion Celebrations is that they contact, confirm and collect payments. All of the other planning is up to me and a committee of volunteers from our class.

I will post more information as it comes in but, we need everyone on board. I only have about 20 people who say they will go and we need several more to get this thing moving. I know it is hard to plan this far in advance but, try to do the best you can.

See you soon

If there is Any way you can mail me an invite, that would be great. But anyway, right now I enjoy being a stay at home mom with my two kids Brandon who will be 9 and Adrianna 5 and my stepdaughter Kayla 5. I’m also getting married in October. See all you guys at the reunion. Take care.

Name:Harmony MendozaClass of: 1997Now living in: Columbus, GADate: May 18, 2007Comments: Hello everyone! Here is the latest information about the reunion. Saturday October 27, 2007 looks like that will be the day of the reunion. Tentatively it will be at the Ramada Inn Bayside. The hotel is in New Port Richey, next to the Publix on U.S. 19. I have already spoken with the property manager and the room is available and reserved for us. This hotel has been remodeled since high school and a group reunion from Gulf just recently had their reunion there.

The best thing you can do now is try to tell as many people as you can about this date and location. The more people who attend the cheaper the ticket price will be and obviously the more fun, as well. Reunion Celebrations Inc will do their part in trying to contact all of you and those who have wondered out contact.

Please let me know if you have any questions; otherwise I will continue to post more information as it comes in. Thank you for your patience and I hope to see you all very soon.

the bad news is that due to lack of anticipated attendance (not enough rsvps) The picnic that was scheduled for May 19th is canceled… So if you took the day off with intentions of spending it with us, please enjoy your day…

The Good news is that Harmony Mendoza is planning the official reunion to occur in October, and has started assembling a reunion committee to assist her with the task so progress is being made toward that end

thanks for your time

Name:Harmony MendozaClass of: 1997Now living in: Columbus, GADate: May 7, 2007Comments: Hello. I have recently been made aware that nothing has officially been done for a formal reunion. I feel that we deserve to have something special and I would hate for anyone to miss out due to miscommunication. I am not in contact with any other class officers so I will be using other resources for help. Because of the late start, this will probably not happen until October of this year. Better late than never, right? I have contacted Reunion Celebrations Inc in Tampa and I will do the best I can to make this happen in a timely an inexpensive manner. I will post more information as it comes in. I hope to see you all soon.

For a while we really wanted to get out of this state. In June we drove to California for the first time in over 5 years! It took 2 days each way. We stayed out there for a week and it seems like the smog in San Diego took its toll on us.

We always want to be somewhere else, but then the reality sets in that we’re better off as we are, but it’s nice to reach out for something more….

Name:papa steveClass of: 1997Now living in: inside of wooden body no thanks to japettoDate: Thursday, October 13, 2005Comments: if i wrote a list for every fish, than my wish would steal my kiss

since we last made electrostatic contact:

i fell in the tub
i graduated school
i stopped eating dessert
i wrote a few songs
i started dating ninteen year olds
i had sex in the stadium
i swallowed some pills…

so now i can’t rememeber what a gerund is.

i don’t really know half of the people on this website but i do wish you all a very fond ‘hello’. ironically enough i am still living in tallahassee, but i can;t say that i’m not enjoying myself. sometimes i think i enjoy myself just a bit too much. i’m making good money as a general manager of a restaraunt, but still i need to get out of here. you can only take so much of fit blonde girls in ruffle skirts and snow boots. don’t get me wrong they’re easliy coersed into things, due to their low self esteem, but once you’ve been with one you might has well just been with them all.

but i’m not saying don’t try it, just come up for the weekend.

well hugs and kisses to those of you that i do know, and a tip of the hat to the rest.

if you need me just say my name three times in the dark whilke standing alone in your bathroom, but please do this during my normal business hours which are between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. i don’t like being disturbed from the slumber i’m already neglected of

toodles,

(the milkman your mom never told you about)

Name:Jennifer Ripley (Davis)Class of: 1997Now living in: ArizonaDate: Thursday, September 29, 2005Comments: Glad to hear that things have turned out so well for everyone. It’s amazing how many things change. If anyone ever asked me in school if I wanted to have kids, I would have said NO! But now, I love being a mom. I am having so much fun. It’s like being a kid yourself all over again. I am very busy all of the time, and it’s great! I would rather be busy pushing a two year old on a swing, than have a stressful “real job” any day. I am very lucky! If any one wants to see my family you can go to: www.groups.msn.com/mygroups I need to update the pics, but you’re more than welcome to look at what is there. Talk to you soon. -jen

Name:Brandi HayesClass of: supposed to be 97′Now living in: TampaDate: Sunday, July 03, 2005Comments: Hey Guys~ Wow it’s been a long time! I hope everyone is doing well. Currently, I am living in Tampa (hating being in Florida, just trying to get through school). I am in my last year at USF studying T.V. production. No, I’m not modeling anymore. I finished up at the age of 20 after taking on the fashion world in Milan, Italy. At 23 I said to myself “Self you need to get your a** back in school” (anyone who had Ms. Peek will appreciate that). So here I am living the single college life with no kids. Really, it’s a blessing…I’m milking it for all it’s worth. I’m interested in being a sports reporter/producer (Hi Sara Walsh). Last semester I worked as a public relations intern for the Tampa Bay Storm. In the fall I will be one of two student reporters, covering USF football and basketball for the Sports On Demand Network (a new medium giving you updates by cell phone on your favorite Division I schools). It should be cool. I’ll be attending the Big East Media Day this month, definitely a good experience. That’s about it, just chillin’ right now, focusing on what I want to do with the rest of my life. Don’t really date too much…it’s just really too difficult these days. Single ladies, don’t you agree??? Anyway, I’m glad I found this site. Does anyone know if I still get invited to the reunion even though I didn’t graduate? Someone hit me up and let me know about that. Or just hit me up if you want to say hey…I would love to hear from you guys. Take care and God Bless.

My friends were mostly class of 97 though. I was very very sad to read on here that trever maki was killed. He was such a great guy.

well not much has changed. school will be ending soon, and for me it will be off to asheville, north carolina to work on my most recent collection of short stories titled “midnight milk”–a book which would represent and honor my dear father.

as far as everything else, i do like hugs, i do like lizards, every story can use more robots, i’m addicted to carpet art, i smell like scissors, i use biodegradable sandwhich bread, i lost my refrigerator, i have very little regret, and i’m in love with the fact that this high school now has sandals which you can purchase at your local wal-mart.

this will not be the last time you will hear from me…

take care,

your faithful bus driver

My husband and I will be married 7 yrs. He works at Bright House now, and because I have gotten into the habit of shopping ALL THE TIME, I decided to go back and waitress at Denny’s (not the best job but pretty good money)

Ian is five and is in kindergarten, he is doing great. First and Second grade work, and very active in sports now. He is playing baseball and does well at it.

Kenzy is two……… need I say more? All girly girl and will be starting gymnastics next month.

My life as a mom has gone to the next level or so I am being told, Mom can I have money for this, that and whatever else I don’t really need. Mom can you drive me here, there and by the way I am bringing 2-5 friends. I think soon I will need to invest in one of those bright yellow cars and charge 2.50 for the first 1/4 mile.

I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA with a degree in Biology. I hiked 900 miles in California a few summers ago. I’ve lived in New York, all over Virginia and now at the beach in North Carolina. I’m waiting tables at a really nice restaurant trying to save up for Medical School. I just got accepted and I start this September. It’s in Seattle, which will be so far away for 5 years, but fun. It’s actually a Naturopathic Medical School, so if anyone needs a quality doctor who knows all the alternative therapies and midwifery, get in touch (in 5 years)! As for family, I have my sweet dog, Maggie and a wonderful boyfriend, Wes. No kids yet, probably not for another 5 years. Congrats on marriages and kids, for those who have them! See you all in a few years! Take care and God bless!

We are still hoping to move back out to San Diego before our son starts school in August. As for me I have decided that being a bartender and a waitress is not for me although it is good money, I want more out of life than that so I plan on starting school to be a nurse in the very near future. (next semester)
My children are growing very fast and until school starts I just want to be “mommy” and be able to get up and go to the park at anytime.
